Puff of smoke when starting

I'm about to buy an 83 coupe s, it's in excellent condition overall, but when you start the car, a small puff of smoke comes out. The car runs real strong and everything seems fine. Isn't this a normal issue, or a minor problem? Could it be gas left over that hasn't burned off somewhere?

It's normal behavior for these cars. Check out Felix's Own General Rotary Engine FAQ for this and other info about these cars.
